Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in sharing info about travel and cool places to stay and visit in my next trips. Natural an rural areas are my favourite ones, but also places in cities far away the traditional tourist ones...

Especially if you want to know and hang out in natural areas near Madrid, don't doubt it. I'll show you nice places for sure.

Interests

I'm an eclectic guy with different tastes. I love practicing endurance sports (running, trail running, triathlon, cycling, mountain biking, long distance swimming...) and outdoors: hikes, mountaineering, go to lakes and spend the day there... I love nature
I also like photography , even not having enough time to learn all you should know about it :P (here you have the best of me http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidnortes/). I love to read books, especially about social topics: politics, economics, cultures, religions...
I really enjoy having drinks at the same time I have a good conversation -I prefer therefore chill places and small groups rather than the oppsite. My friends say about me I love to talk :P (but I also know how to enjoy silence ;), specially in nature).
I like to try cuisine from all over the world (but I'm vegetarian. It's the only constrain I have). Deserts are my favourite ones :)
I also had (when i was living in Spain) my own garden, shared with some friends, to plant our organic veggies. I'm really into healthy food and healthy way of life, can you tell it?
Now I'm getting also into yoga and meditation. It's being amazing
